![]() ![]() John Cena is another evolution prospect, from the rookie with ruthless aggression to the rapper to the solider he is today, he is the epitome of how evolution from no gimmick to a gimmick can send a wrestler to the top. Randy Orton is The Viper, he was The Legend Killer and he used to be some pretty boy son of the Cowboy Bob Orton, the "evolution"(haha, clever pun intended) of his character has been immense, and in my opinion his evolution increased his ability to get to the top. To be fair though, the times of PG still have their gimmicks, though these usually apply to the top stars, who have built these gimmicks on the nothing they were given at the beginning of their career. But that is a very "out there" gimmick, and because The Undertaker is so respected from his hard work and years of service, their is both a mix of respect and fanfare for The Undertaker, even if everyone knows The Undertaker is just a man, and he's very much alive. The Undertaker would have never been The Undertaker without gimmicks, a star like that would never have made it now because it just seems to unrealistic to the younger fans of today. I've always believed that the key to a good wrestler is their personality, and their personality stems from their gimmick. Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase are sons of Hall of Famers, Drew McIntyre and Shaemus are foreigners, what do the others have? Dolph Ziggler, whats his gimmick? Hi his name is Dolph Ziggler, I used to be a male cheerleader? How about Zack Ryders, woo woo woo you know it, I'm an idiotic joke of a jockstrap? Some are lucky, they are already different. Maybe that was a loaded question, but for reasons I can not comprehend, Vince keeps sending out wrestlers that just all look and sound the same. The Undertaker is the phenom of death valley, and Trent and Caylen play guitar hero in their spare time, now please leave a comment and name me the jobber/jobbers in this sentence. Trent Baretta and Caylen Croft are an example, whats their gimmick? they play Playstation. I've noticed that all the wrestlers seem the same, the gimmicks are just normal everyday wrestlers. The first instance i see of this is the name. Remember the days with "The Real American" Hulk Hogan, a bunch of foreign guys, The Rock, Stone Cold and a bunch of other guys who actually had gimmicks? Now days, we have "superstars" who just seem to conform to the average person image. I believe gimmicks would make some of these wrestlers at least more memorable, but to be fair we are in the age of PG, and gimmicks are few and far between in wrestlers. We have a recent influx of just normal wrestlers, with no real identity to make them stand out. Anyway, I decided to write an article while waiting for my next WWE Raw fix to load up on youtube and after some light reading in my archives, I've decided on my topic to write about. At the least, that way our response would be authentic and natural to what we were feeling in the moment, instead of contrived and calculated, it would be just 'Skills no Gimmicks', like the title of the album says.Hello Bleacher Report, long time no writing. ![]() It was important to feel that spark, instead of just deciding yeah we need to have this kind of cut or that kind of cut. If something about the music moved us and made us want to write, then that's what we did. That's one reason why the songs on the CD all kind of have their own 'thing' going, because we didn't want to set an agenda, or get caught up in trying to be this or that. We sat down with our producer and just listened to what he had going on and in his archives, and just vibed to different beats. There was no real theme or concept we were trying to get across. Making the first album was really just a matter of making a dream - recording our own album- materialize. At the least, that way our response would be authentic and natural to what we were feeling in the moment, instead of contrived and calculated, it would be just 'Skills no Gimmicks', like the title of the album says. ![]() ![]() Gathering a crew can be hard, so both the Pirate Base, and the SEA Base feature spawners, which can teleport you onto any Ships that belong to your Teams.Ĭapturing a Ship will allow your Teammates to spawn on it. It is highly advisable to immediately repair any breaches in your Ships hull, as water will quickly flood your ship, decreasing its speed, and eventually immobilizing you and your entire crew. Turning the water pump on will automatically stop your Ship, attempting to drive your Ship while the water pump is running will automatically stop the water pump. The segment of the hull that is breached will display the words "Breached" in red and white. To repair a flood, be sure to turn the water pump on, and use Flex Tape to repair the breach. To check wether your ship is breached, ask the current driver, as they can view the ships status. Water will spread to adjacent tiles, and once you reach flooding of 50 percent or more, your ship will begin its despawn timer. While breached, your ship slowly begins to sink, and decreases in speed. ![]() If your ships hull is breached, it will begin flooding, and the breached status will be applied to your Ship. Gunboats are so weak their hulls can be breached by shots from standard guns. Smaller ships such as the Landing Craft, Patrol Boat, and Gunboat can be breached by the 12" Naval Cannon, as well as the 25mm M242. Battleships, such as the Frigate, Destroyer, Torpedo Boat, and Corvette can only be breached with a 12" Naval Cannon. Ship hulls vary in strength, and certain ships cannot be breached with certain Turrets. The Gunboat is the only exception, only requiring 200 studs. Visitors and Prisoners do not count towards this check. To lock a ship, you must ensure you are 1000 - 1500 studs away from players of another Teams. Other players can still use Turrets turrets on your ship. Your Ship however, cannot be taken over by another player, and only you will have access to driving it. ![]() Locking will also prevent a despawn timer from staring unless your ship is over 50 percent flooded, and your ship will stay where you left it. However, your ship can be boarded, and taken over by another player, regardless of their Teams. Parking a ship will prevent a despawn timer from starting unless your ship is over 50 percent flooded, and your ship will stay where you have left it. Attempting to lock or park a new Ship will automatically unlock your other Ships. To park or lock a ship, ensure that your ship is in "neutral." You may only have 1 locked Ship at a time. For example, the Landing Craft features the ability to open its front door. A and D allow you to steer your Ship, and the water pump can be used to drain water from your ship, in the event your hull is breached.Īll ships will feature an overview menu, which features their:Ĭertain Ships will feature other controls, which can be observed in the Ships overview menu, in the bottom right hand corner. Ships feature pretty simplistic controls, with W increasing the engines power, and S reversing the Ship. Once your ship has exceeded flooding of 50 percent, the timer will start regardless of your ships current state, wether its locked, parked or still being driven. ![]() The timer will also reset if a new driver takes over the ship. To prevent a despawn timer, simply park or lock your ship before you leave it. Once the driver has left the seat of the ship, the despawn timer will begin counting down. Please note, all ships feature a despawn timer. Whichever Team has more Ships in the sea, will likely have access to more Islands, and can easily dominate their combatants. Regardless, of what you chose, Ships offer an effective, and reliable means to assert naval dominance within the sea. Ships fit a wide variety or roles, these include: (Note: The Landing Craft doesn't feature any Turrets.) Every ship is outfitted with a variety of Turrets, to bolster their offensive and defensive capabilities. Each Ship ranges in size, and firepower, and generally requires a crew of 2 + to be used efficiently. It has increased by 37% from an average of 57.4 vessels per month.There are currently 7 Ships in the game that a player can use, with 6 being unlocked by everyone, and 1 being locked behind a paywall. ![]() % Rapidly increased to 18.4 days.Ī record high of 86 container vessels awaited off the coast of Los Angeles and Long Beach on Tuesday, according to the Marine Exchange.Īlthough the monthly average of arriving container vessels in November from November to the present decreased by 10% compared to September, an average of 78.7 container vessels per day are moored offshore in September. The average time it takes for a container ship to arrive at the Los Angeles Harbor berth after waiting offshore (berthed or wandering) is 133 between September 1st and Thursday, although arrival trends are declining.

This riveting new book-written in an accessible, entertaining style-will open the eyes of even the most skeptical.more He presents, with alarming clarity and conclusiveness-and with humor, too-that the fact of global warming is not in question and that its consequences for the world we live in will be disastrous if left unchecked. With this book, Gore, who is one of our environmental heroes-and a leading expert-brings together leading-edge research from top scientists around the world photographs, charts, and other illustrations and personal anecdotes and observations to document the fast pace and wide scope of global warming. Both the book and film were inspired by a series of multimedia presentations on global warming that Gore created and delivers to groups around the world. With this book, Gore, who is one of our An Inconvenient Truth-Gore's groundbreaking, battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance-is being published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name. ![]() It paints a portrait of “Earth in the Balance” (the title of his 1992 book), perilously perched on a series of potential climatic tipping points.Įarth's polar ice caps have remained medium to large in size for more than 650 000 years, switching in tandem with levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), ranging from 180 to 280 parts per million (ppm).An Inconvenient Truth-Gore's groundbreaking, battle cry of a follow-up to the bestselling Earth in the Balance-is being published to tie in with a documentary film of the same name. With humour, humility, intelligence, and artistry, the film shows him traversing the globe. Hyperbole? Not according to Al Gore, who “used to be the next President of the United States,” as he breaks the emotional ice at the start of this fast paced film. ![]() It shows how climate change presents the greatest challenge-and the grandest opportunity-facing the human race. The truth can be a bitter pill to swallow and An Inconvenient Truth contains the active ingredients: evidence of disruption of the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, bathysphere, and cryosphere (ice cover). ![]() ![]() While objects in that direction lie in the Zone of Avoidance (the part of the night sky obscured by the Milky Way galaxy) and are thus difficult to study with visible wavelengths, X-ray observations have revealed that the region of space is dominated by the Norma Cluster (ACO 3627), a massive cluster of galaxies containing a preponderance of large, old galaxies, many of which are colliding with their neighbours and radiating large amounts of radio waves. The location of the Great Attractor was finally determined in 1986: It is situated at a distance of somewhere between 150 and 250 Mly (million light-years) (47–79 Mpc) (the larger being the most recent estimate) away from the Milky Way, in the direction of the constellations Triangulum Australe (The Southern Triangle) and Norma (The Carpenter's Square). The first indications of a deviation from uniform expansion of the universe were reported in 1973 and again in 1978. Recent astronomical studies by a team of South African astrophysicists revealed a supercluster of galaxies, termed the Vela Supercluster, in the Great Attractor's theorized location. The Great Attractor itself is moving towards the Shapley Supercluster. The variations in their redshifts are known as peculiar velocities, and cover a range from about +700 km/s to −700 km/s, depending on the angular deviation from the direction to the Great Attractor. ![]() ![]() These galaxies are observable above and below the ZOA all are redshifted in accordance with the Hubble Flow, indicating that they are receding relative to us and to each other, but the variations in their redshifts are large enough and regular enough to reveal that they are slightly drawn towards the anomaly. The anomaly is observable by its effect on the motion of galaxies and their associated clusters over a region of hundreds of millions of light-years across the universe. However, it is inconveniently obscured by our own Milky Way's galactic plane, lying behind the Zone of Avoidance (ZOA), so that, in visible light wavelengths, the Great Attractor is difficult to observe directly. The observed anomalies suggest a localized concentration of mass millions of times more massive than the Milky Way. The Great Attractor is a gravitational anomaly in intergalactic space and the apparent central gravitational point of the Laniakea Supercluster.

The Infantry Assault Vehicle is pretty self explanatory, and has a big old machine gun on top to lay waste to your enemies. The Juggernaut is a huge, armoured suit and mini gun, making you incredibly strong for a limited time. Three examples of new killstreaks have been revealed, too. As you reach level 10 and beyond, you earn points which you can use to unlock the rest of the killstreaks in any order you choose. You start off with the UAV, Care Package and Predator Missile. You have 3 killstreak rewards that you can customize to your liking. Players will be able to choose three killstreaks from a list ahead of a match, which they can then use if and when they get the appropriate number of kills. Modern Warfare 2 expands the killstreak system from Call of Duty 4 and World at War. While there isn't much information available yet, it sounds like they're going to work similarly to the 2007 shooter. However, with this year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward is bringing back the classic killstreak. For years, scorestreaks have taken their place to encourage players to stick to the objective in certain modes. A killstreak is when you defeat a certain number of players in a row without dying yourself, unlocking various tactical advantages or powerful weapons as a result. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare introduced the system in its revolutionary online battles, and the mechanic has been toyed with many times since. If you've ever engaged in a game of Call of Duty multiplayer, you'll have heard about killstreaks at some point. ![]() ![]() From Control Panel, uninstall the tool needed in the new SSMS install.

Removing watermarks from a video or photo seems to be impossible for many people, but the facts have proved that there are lots of ways can help you achieve it. Recreation: You might use the same materials for recreation, so you don't want a watermark on it. If your old photos and videos feature the old logo in the watermark, it makes sense to remove it. Updated logo: It sometimes happens that you’ve refreshed your brand or channel with a new logo design. Here removing the watermark will help make the video/photo more enjoyable. Distracting: Although they are designed to be discreet, some watermarks are poorly designed and grab attention from the content. More and more people find themselves needing to remove them due to lots of reasons. ![]() A watermark makes it more difficult to use the image or video without authorization and also prevents others from claiming ownership of the media content. ![]() A watermark is an image or text that is added to a video/photo to protect copyright, identify the owner or promote a brand. ![]() ![]() A little known fact is that the people who should have been the ones to keep it alive and fresh with new content actually killed most people's interest in the 'scene' by being possessive, whiny little bitches who decided that the best way to do justice to the concept of a nearly infinitely costomizable figting engine would be to do whatever they possibly could to stop new content from reaching people. People often cite Elecbyte's discontinuing development of the software as the reason that the M.U.G.E.N community all but died. Saving the 'creator's' bandwidth, and alleviating the need for people to spend hours wading through a million broken links and badly-designed sites in a multitude of languages is something that should never be done under any circumstances.
